Recommendations for the Design and Delivery of Transitions-Focused Digital Health Interventions: Rapid Review

Recommendations for the Design and Delivery of Transitions-Focused Digital Health Interventions: Rapid Review

Hospital-to-home transitions can be a challenging time for older adults [1-10] owing to the high risk of adverse events, including medical errors, hospital readmission, and death [4,7,11,12]. It has been noted that almost half of the adverse events experienced during these transitions could be prevented or minimized [4,7,11,12].

Inclusion of Older Adults in Digital Health Technologies to Support Hospital-to-Home Transitions: Secondary Analysis of a Rapid Review and Equity-Informed Recommendations

Improving transitions in care can help improve the quality and cost of care and promote more equitable care for vulnerable older adults [20]. An emerging area of research is the use of technology to help support hospital-to-home transitions for patients and their family caregivers [2,20-22]. Technological advances may help integrate health and social care in at-risk populations [23].

Poor communication at transitions is at the root of much overuse, underuse, and misuse of health resources, and results in the inability of patients to complete recommended treatment. For the patient and their family this means unnecessary delays in returning to health or worse. For those professionals on the care team the incidents of harm, burnout, stress, and frustration cause financial, emotional and career-ending consequences.
